Atlantic Gaming Desk – Not Machine Specific

Table dimensions w/out attachments: 40.25" X 23.5"
Table dimensions w/attachments: 49.25" X 24"
Obviously this is measuring the table with the speaker trays.
The extra .5" front to back is due to the monitor panel being attached.
Floor to Table Height: 29 3/8"

AdrienneS: I think they listened to your suggestions, almost all of the holes were pre-drilled in my desk. All except for the media holder, no pre-drilled holes for it. I opted not to put that on anyway so it wasn’t a big deal to me.

After reading how disappointing the drawer was, I opted not to put it on either.

Scratches: Mine had 1 scratch and 1 ding on the top edge of the table. Having read the reviews, I paid attention to the packaging as I opened the box. With mine, there was a piece of cardboard separating the metal legs from the table top. Theory is intact, execution was a failure. The piece of cardboard did not cover the entire length of the table top and about 2 feet of it was exposed. I am assuming as I unpacked the desk and slid the pieces out the scratch happened at that time, but who knows for sure. I also think due to the way in which it was packed, one of the feet on the legs would have caused the ding in the top edge of the table, probably during shipping.

Before I even ordered this desk I had been contemplating what I would do if it did have a big scratch in it. I decided I would just go down to Home Depot, buy a piece of Plexiglas, drill 4 holes in it and screw it down to the top of the desk. Underneath the Plexiglas I would put either some zombie pictures or possibly even mount my Tampa Bay Buccaneers decal on it. Scratch covered. Problem solved.

Cup Holder: Someone asked if the cup holder would hold a 32oz cup. It holds it with ease and even has a little room left over.

I hope this answered a lot of people’s questions. If anyone has any additional questions, I will keep an eye on this for a few weeks and I will answer as best I can.

Good luck, we’re all counting on you.

PROS:
-Very sturdy
-Simple, easy, pretty
-Allows you personal customization of parts
-Small footprint

CONS:
-Honestly, none so far! Will update at a later time if something arises

I haven’t owned this desk for too long so far, only a week I believe, but this is definitely one of the best desks I’ve ever owned. You may question: "Oh, but Erik, you are only 24, how many desks could you have possibly owned in your life???" to which I would respond: "Stop reading in to what I’m saying so much". I have personally owned 4 separate desks, and my biggest complaint about all of them is that there’s *so much* to them, overly complicated, too many drawers, heavy, etc… I just wanted something that was light, simple, and appealing to the eye. Yes, I’m a gamer but the fact that this is a "gaming desk" was the least of the reason I went for it.

Assembly was pretty easy, I saw a video on youtube about someone complaining about how difficult it was to understand the instructions. No, ignore this idiot, it’s incredibly easy and straightforward. When you look at all the separate parts, you might assume this thing isn’t going to be very stable or wobbly. Let me dash those ideas away and say that this thing is solid as hell, no part feels poorly made or anything. I will say that putting this thing together with a screwdriver will take a while, use a power drill(trust me). I actually bought an extra part after doing some research and measurements, and added a keyboard tray instead of the storage shelf onto this baby. This really isn’t necessary for most people, I just really like keyboard trays and went with it. I bought the Alera Valencia under desk keyboard tray, and man did this thing just barely fit like a glove.

As you’ll see in the pictures I’ve included, I’ve actually chosen to avoid attaching most of the extra stands/pieces as I deem them unnecessary and don’t have room for them, especially when I have 2 monitors. I like that attaching anything to this desk is entirely up to your own discretion. The cup holder and headphone holder are dope, didn’t attach anything else except the charging dock(which I can’t really access because my monitor is in the way, cool idea though!). With everything all set up, this desk looks great. The materials all work together, it has a super simplistic look, and doesn’t take up much room. I love the carbon fiber texture of the surface, very smooth and just looks great to the eye.

So, to sum this all up, this is a fantastic desk, it comes with everything you’d really need in a desk without getting too complex. It’s a very simple appealing thing that allows for easy customization to how you want it. This thing also takes up a very small footprint, so if you are strapped for room, you’ve got a winner here. Just note that if you have monitors that are bigger than 26 inches, you’re pushing it. My 2-24 inch monitors just barely make the cut, you’ve been warned!

[12-20-15] EDIT: An update on this desk, it’s still holding together just as well as it was before. I recently purchased a 29 inch 21:9 ratio monitor, and that and my 24.6 inch 16:9 monitor barely fit on the desk together. But, they do fit, so if that is in your interests, go for it. Just know they may be hanging off a wee bit. Oh and, 0 scratches to this desk after many many months of abuse.
